atm this isn't working as you say either (for me)...
I fired up a fresh invocation of Lyx, CTRL+N and typed:
now is the time
for all good men
to drink lemonade
at the party
CTRL+S to save as /tmp/file.lyx
I then did a dvi preview, In /tmp/lyx_tmpdir.J19856/lyx_tmpbuf0 I can
see the files that were generated. file.tex shows:
--8<-8<-8<---
\batchmode
\makeatletter
\def\in...@path{{/tmp//}}
\makeatother
\documentclass[english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin9]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\begin{document}
now is the time
for all good men
to drink lemonade
at the party
\end{document}
--8<-8<-8<---
and in the command buffer I type (to jump to "for all good men"):
server-goto-file-row /tmp/file.lyx 14
but the cursor just goes back to line 1 again...
I even tried (for good luck):
server-goto-file-row /tmp/lyx_tmpdir.J19856/lyx_tmpbuf0/file.tex 14
but the cursor jumps to line 1 still.
I've tried lines 1-17 but still it won't do anything apart from jump
back to line 1.
I then switched to "Article (noweb)".
I note that a .nw is created as an intermediate file - is this the file
used for the line number mappings or is it the text file generated by
noweave? This question really concerns me because I am trying to map
from source files back to the lyx document, not from the dvi back to the
lyx document.

server-goto-file-row goes to line 1
If I type: server-goto-file-row THISFILENAME.lyx 20 into the Lyx command buffer, it always goes to the top of the document. (I'm using Lyx 1.6.2). Am I using the command wrongly or are there other known problems that someone can comment on? Thanks Sam
